the throne. As Princess she was beloved,
as Queen she is absolutely adored.'
She is said to be a person of most
varied requirements and has always,
with all her cares and duties, been also
student. She speaks all the leading
languages of Europe with rs much flu
ency as her own. They tell me that no
one born and bred in England speaks
English more purely and auently than
the Queen. She is also especially fond
of the natural sciences, of which her
knowledge fits her to converse with in
telligence and deep interest with the
most learned scientists of Italy, while
her knowledge of literature, past and
present, of her own country and of other
countries is something remarkable. She
is q connoisseur Of art in various de-
partments also, and gives to artists her
most cordial encouragement. She has
done great deal to encourage the lace
makers of Venice, visiting the schools
where lace making is taught, revived
the making Of old styles of lace, which
had become almost lost art. She has
done much to increase the wages Of the
best workers and securing for them the
same respect as is shown to artists in
other departments of the fine arts. In
short, her life is devoted to good works.
Lately was celebrated the thirty-sixth
anniversary Of the Queens birth which
she favored the Florentines by spending
with them and of which they made the
most in a very tasteful and yet not ex-
pensive way. 1t was the particular re-
quest Of the King, it is said, that there
might be no great and expensive de-
monstrations in the city for their recep-
ton. Indeed these were the conditions
upon which alone he would consent to
make this visit Of . couple Of weeks.
he said the city could not afford to
spend money In this way. The people
The Colfax chronicle. [volume] (Colfax, Grant Parish, La.) 1877-1981, 1887-04-09

had greater need for it i'm other ways.
If they would let their King and the
royal family come as any other guests,
they would gladly come. When the
facade of their old cathedral should be
finished and unveiled, that would be
grand day for Florence. Then he would
come to Florence as the King of Italy,
if they desired it.
Their coming made a pleasant holiday
for the old city. They drove out every
day in various parts of the city and
visited schools, hospitals, studios and
public institutions of various kinds. At
sunrise there was a salnte of twenty
one guns and during the day multi
tude of men were busy in arranging for
the illumination and procession OF the
evening. CHANGED to be two or three
times on the piazza of the Duosno. where
men were preparing for the illumina-
ton of the grand dome, of which it is
related that Michael Angelo said when
called to build the dome of st. Petersi
Rome: Better than that l can not
build; like it / will not" 1t seemed
trade as dreadful as that of gathering
samphire in liking Lear" to fix the
lights in their places on the steep slope
of the dome, and it must have been
more dreadful in the evening to
light them, one would Judge. 1t was
done by men held by rope fastened
round their body, and then fastened
round the lantern of the dome. At the
immense height at which they were
thus suspended they seemed no larger
than children. But the illumination OF
the cathedral. the baptistry, the great
churches of the city, and above all the
Palazzo Vechio, the old municipal pal
ace that has been the witness OF so
many grand-so many sad sights during
the ages that are past.
And the procession through the streets
was something finer than any thing OF
the kind 1 ever saw before. All the
skill of the Florentines of the days when
the greatest artists that then, or ever,
lived were the arrangers Of such fetes
and professions, seemed to have come
back and re-endowed the men of this
generation, for surely nothing OF the
kind could have been more tasteful,
more brilliant and enchanting as the
pictures of fairyland-than the scenes
arranged to honor the Queens ami
versary. Florence Cor. Detroit Tribune

THE sEA-sERPENT.
A Boston Scientist Tells why He Believes
in Its Existence.

n 0OoLOn SclentlSt WHY NO ASOAsOvoo
In Its Existence.
At recent meeting of the Boston
Scientific Society paper on the sea-
serpent by DR.. Samuel Kneeland, who
is firm believer in the existence OF the
sea monster In brief way he pre-
scented the observations of record of the
appearance of this sea monster, and the
various arguments, pro and con, which
have been made by believers and dis
believers in the truth of the main state
ments of these records. He declared
himself to be of the former class.
Among the reasons for believing that
monsters known by the name OF sea-
serpents do exist. he presented the
archaeological evidence. The fossil
specimens of an early geological period
correspond in the main to the de-
scriptions of the contemporary sea-
serpent. Prof. Agassiz believed in the
present existence of the sea-serpent,
and found in the forms of the ichthyosau-
rus and plesiosaurus points OF identity.
Prof. Hagen, of Harvard University, in
1874 expressed himself a believer, and
doubtless is to-day. Prof. Proctor. the
astronomer, Is another scientist who
takes that side of the question. Records
of the appearance of the creature are
most numerous in the history or annals
of Norway, and these records in some
instances have been made by the learned
or scientific men of that country. No
Norwegian, of whatever attachments in
knowledge, and no mariner of the land,
disbelieves in the existence of the sea-
serpent. IN y Post.

Snake-victims in India.

About 10000 people are annually de-
stroyed in India by animals, and of these
nineteen in twenty are said to be bitten
by snakes. The number of human vic
tins tends to increase, in spite of the
fact that the number of wild beasts and
snakes destroyed has doubled in the last
ten years, and that the government re-
ward paid for their determination has
risen proportionately. Nearly two and
a-half lakhs of rupees (about $125, 00W
were thus paid in 1884. Next to veno-
nous reptiles, tigers, claim most vic
Tins. Ten years ago wolves. mostly in
the northwest provinces and Oudh,
killed five times as many people as of
late years; but the determination Of
wolves seems to be going on rapidly,
Leopards are the alleged cause of death
in about 2O0 human beings annually.
Apart from the loss Of human life the
returns show "a annual destruction Of
$1,000 head Of cattls.-N Y Sun

ASSYRIAN TABLETS.
Valuable Testimony Gathered from Il
Libraries Of Antiquity.

Valuable Testimony Gathered from the
Libraries Of Antiquity.
It is well known that the late Mr..
George Smith and others recently made
most extensive explorations and most
valuable discoveries in Assyria. Mr..
Smith unearthed whole royal libraries
from its mounds-libraries not consist
ing, like ours, of volumes of paper, but
of clay tablets, which, while the clay
was in soft state, had been written
upon with an iron pen, and then baked
hard in an oven. Among these curious
old volumes we find accounts OF the
Creation, of the Deluge and of other
events of sacred history, tinctured. as
we should naturally expect them to be,
by the nature of the soil through which
they had filtered, so that they did not
correspond exactly with the Biblical
accounts, but yet corresponding suf-
ficiently to yield a most remarkable
and most valuable confederation OF
their testimony. We take up the fifth
tablet, for instance. Here is a transla-
ton of seven lines of this strange
volume from the library of King Assur-
banipal, from which the reader may
see that it is a kind of heather Genesis:
The moon He appointed to rule the night.
And to wander through the night until the dawn
Every month St without fail, He made holy assem-.
bly, days,
In the beginning of the month, at the rising Of
the night.
On the seventh day He appointed holy day, :.
| And to cease from all business He commanded.
Our quotation is from the translation
of Mr.. H. Fox Talbot Now, the date
of this tablet is about 700 b. C. But Mr..
Smith, of whose eminence as an Assyri-
ologist it would be an impertinence to
speak, says: 1.-The present copies OF the
Chaldean account of creation were
written during the reign of Assurbani'
pal, B. C. 573-628; but they appear to
be copies of much earlier accounts OF
Creation-works the date of the compo.
sition of which was probably nearer b
C. 1000. The legends, however, ex'
listed earlier than this, and were in the
form of oral teaching" Thousands Of

era, it appears that the Sabbath wa
